ACT BUSHFIRE MEMORIALThe ACT Bushfire Memorial has been commissioned by the ACT Government to acknowledge the impact of the 2003 bushfires, to mark the process of recovery, and to thank the many organisations and individuals who played crucial roles in the fire fighting and recovery efforts. The Chief Minister and Minister for Arts, Heritage and Indigenous Affairs, Jon Stanhope dedicated the ACT Bushfire Memorial on Wednesday 18 January 2006, the third anniversary of the day the fires reached the national capital and its outlying settlements with such devastating effects. The memorial is located in Stromlo Forest Park, near the intersection of Cotter Road and Eucumbene Drive, Weston. It has been designed by Canberra artists Tess Horwitz, Tony Steel and Martyn Jolly, with significant advice and input from the ACT community. LINKSACT Bushfire Memorial – A BRIEF HISTORY |
